USNews elevated it for years but it is in no way a first choice for top students. It is good choice for private school kids who want to be at a good private but do not have the grades to get into any ivies or Duke etc.

uChicago kids have better stats than all of the Ivies. Only schools with better are CalTech and MIT

The 75% percentile SAT would be the typical stats. The usual top 5 still show higher stats.

The numbers in your link are way off. There are multiple schools that are listed as having their 25th percentile scores in the 1300s which is far from true such as Princeton, Stanford, and Duke. All of those schools have 25th percentiles in the high 1400s low 1500s.

Check out the number of Rhodes Scholars they have produced. Within 1 of MIT.

There are independent ways to gauge the quality of the school, and your opinion doesn’t really appear to be one of them.

U Chicago is a true academic powerhouse.
I have 2 kids one at an Ivy and the other one at u Chicago.
Definitely the kid at UC works a lot harder, challenging environments and most kids are very smart and driven.
So regardless of how they got there, and they were selected by the university they have to handle the load so may be it is a good strategy to focus on the kids that they want to be there and have the stats

UChicago scoops up many unhooked high stats kids who can full pay. A few years ago they got a 4.0/1600 SAT kid who arguably was the smartest in the grade. They accept kids who can handle the work and thrive in an academic environment. What is it with this board who want to pull the kids down just because they have some wealth. Wealth does not equate academic aptitude. Yes, there is privilege but as any parent knows there are many kids who do not take advantage of their academic privilege. Only the hardworking, smarter kids get in.

They are committed to a school before knowing what their financial aid is, if any.

People have good idea via NPC.

NPC doesn’t tell you if you’ll get into university honors at UIUC. Applying ED forces kids to walk away from other high-quality opportunities, many of which are far less expensive.

+1

Why the obsession over this? This doesn’t mean the school is good.

Uchicago is not in the same league as HYPMS which don't have ED and their yield is dependent on kids choosing these schools despite having other options. This is why many people don't like Uchicago because of all the games it plays.

U Chicago also sends mail to poor and unqualified students so the school gets more apps and decreases their acceptance rate.

No one in my family is allowed to apply there, and all the mail is immediately tossed.

No, Chicago's high yield is the direct result of ED1 and ED2. It's hard NOT to have a high yield when you have both.

People ED to different schools because they like it more then honors at UIUC.

UPenn and Ivies invented ED back in the days and all sorts of tactics and the current cartel system.
it's the American system. Colleges using it to admit who actually has the highest interest in the school.

Applying ED to a school does not necessarily indicate you really want to go to a school. It means you will go but not that you want to go.

Is it like everyone want to marry a supermodel, but can't so look elsewhere?

Applying ED to a school indicates you really want to go to the school among many others that you have a shot.
